Ford of Sweden today announced that double world rally champion Marcus
Gronholm will drive a 600bhp Ford Fiesta in up to six rounds of the 2008
European Rallycross Championship division one for Andreas Eriksson's
Motor Sport Evolution team. Gronholm, who led the BP Ford World Rally
Team to back-to-back manufacturers' titles in the FIA World Rally
Championship in 2006 and 2007 before retiring from the sport, may also
compete in additional Nordic rallycross events.

This will be Gronholm's first experience of top level rallycross and the
opening round of the championship will be in Portugal on 3-4 May. After
retiring from rallying at the end of last season, the 40-year-old Finn
took up a role as an ambassador for Ford of Europe.
